Here's a confession: it's only September and we're already thinking about the holiday season. Are we crazy to start so soon? No way! Our annual Yuletide events presented by the Montalvo Service Group kick off early this yearNovember 20-22and we want you to reserve your seats right away!

This year, we are offering up an entire weekend of holiday teas, with choices for the whole family. The weekend kicks off with a Yuletide Morning Tea on Friday, November 20, from 10am-12pm. Enjoy mimosas, pastries, and small sandwiches along with your tea.

On both Saturday, November 21, and Sunday November 22, bring the kids to a Children's Tea with Santa at 10am, featuring a special kids menu, a storytime reading, and the chance to meet Santa Claus himself!

If you'd rather ditch the kids, join us in the afternoons instead for adult libations at Champagne High Tea. Sweet and savory treats, and sandwiches will be on the menu, along with tea and a glass of bubbly.

Accompanying each tea will be a small holiday shopping boutique and musical entertainment. With a theme this year of "Home is Where the Heart Is," we hope you feel at home in the charming space of our historic villa. So, please join us!

Please note that due conflicts with a construction project planned on site this winter, our annual Yuletide Marketplace will not be taking place. Look for the return of that event in 2016!
